When you hear the name Bambi you might not be picturing a large, black dog. However, when you meet this Bambi you will quickly learn that she is a dear dog.

Bambi is just under a year old. She is very focused and willing to learn. She walks well on leash. Her training should be easy for someone that is willing to put a little time into it.

The canine handlers at Responsible Pet Care recently learned that Bambi loves the water. She likes to wade in the kiddie pool and splash around with other dogs in the play yard.

Bambi is a beautiful dog that will be very happy joining the activities of her new family whether they are on land or on the water.
